Mr. Winter states that billboards are an often overlooked investment opportunity that is making a major comeback, though the advent of digital technology. The program includes information on prospecting, networking, acquisitions, sales opportunities, profit potential, selling future income streams, three-dimensional billboards, mini-billboards, zone requirements, finding an experienced sign company, cost and financing. Mr. Winter’s new DVD workshop advises investors that while all cities have the same basic process for installing billboards, some cities have looser requirements, and the program shows investors how to search out these more attractive opportunities. The importance of networking is discussed at length in the video, in which he points out the benefits of being persistent in networking. Mr. Winter identifies for investors the biggest players in the billboard market, and lets investors in on secrets the general public don’t know. For example, very few new billboards are built these days so the major players seek out Mom and Pop billboards, then use their national contacts to bring in national billboard tenants. Pat’s video shows investors how to get in the loop on this lucrative advertising industry that is a less expensive than print or TV advertising. As Pat points out, “Zoning is the biggest issue.” The video informs potential investors how to deal with zoning requirements, including B4 and C4 zoning requirements, in which nearby residents must be notified of pending new billboards. He discusses the minimum amount of space required between billboards. And he provides detailed information about billboard cost and the profits that investors can realize from billboard investment. Pat Winter began his career as a teenager, working for his father, an established commercial real estate investor. . . he went on to manage his own successful commercial real estate investing business, gaining expertise in handling retail, manufacturing and office properties.
